Republic Barrel-Aged Wet-Hopped Racer 5 IPA

Draft at Beer Baron. It pours a mostly clear light golden orange color with a thick, creamy off white head. The aroma has vanilla, spice, red wine, sour stone fruit, peaches with some sweet and sour and vinous barrel notes. Infinitely complex. The flavor is vinous with huge barrel notes, heavy tannic red wine and big floral hops. Medium tart stone fruit with some phenolic funk mingling with the floral bitterness. Lots of vanilla, wine and floral hops. This one surprised me. Really awesome stuff.
